N150UP

This airframe, tail number N150UP, is an Airbus A300F4-622R (A300-600F) built by Airbus S.A.S. in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 833. It is owned by United Parcel Service and is registered in the US; operated by United Parcel Service as part of its freighter fleet. The aircraft’s identity is defined primarily by its long-term corporate ownership and airframe-level upgrades applied within the operator’s fleet programme. Valuation and condition highlights: Not published.

The aircraft is configured as a main-deck freighter with a pallet/ULD configuration; the main deck is dedicated to cargo and there is no passenger seating. Its avionics fit is a UPS / Airbus fleet integrated cockpit retrofit — an airframe-level integrated avionics upgrade applied across the UPS A300-600F fleet programme. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on medium-range cargo sectors consistent with its range and cruise speed, operated from United States-based hubs under UPS control. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe are shaped by the combination of its 2003 build year, the twin Pratt & Whitney PW4158 powerplants, and the fleet-wide avionics retrofit strategy aimed at commonality within the operator’s A300-600F fleet.

The Airbus A300F4-622R (A300-600F) occupies a medium-capacity freighter niche, offering payload and range suited to trunk and regional cargo services. With cruise capability of 450 kts and a service ceiling of 40,000 ft, it competes in secondary market roles against other medium twin freighters. Demand and resale considerations for a 2003-built A300-600F typically reflect age, hull hours, engine type (PW4158), and any operator-applied upgrades such as the integrated cockpit retrofit, which can enhance fleet commonality and maintenance predictability.
